Wifi metal building

Our simplified guide, easy, pre-secured network access point, and an outdoor WiFi radio, that operates in 2 modes at once, our o2Surf Connection System, allows you to quickly and easily connect to ANY access point and provide a stable, high power WiFi link into the buildings on your property, with excellent speed, stability and amazing stability. Utilizing customized programming we developed, our o2Surf Connection System, reaches out to your home router, access point or quite literally any 2.

Our kit then creates its own fully functional high speed sub-network, allowing you to connect up to separate WiFi or wired devices to our high power access point included in the kit. RadioLabs makes the programming on our WiFi building extender kit easier than anything on the market.

With a pre-configured solution, pre-encrypted AP solution, and 1 page connection, RadioLabs makes it so easy to connect your barn, shop or any outbuilding to your home Router or Access Point, customers with absolutely no experience in WiFi are able to get on any device, cellphone, tablet or notebook, connect to our Access Point, type in a pre-encrypted unique password given to each kit, enter our menu screen, go to our site survey page, find your home network, select it and Activate.

No changing IPs, no default gateway hassle, nothing. Yes, this single kit can be used to connect XFinity Wifi, Brighthouse, literally any cable company WiFi network, to capture this signal and bring it into your home or office.

In the end, your network will act like they ran cable straight to your home. However, that strategy may not work well for most people. If you want to get WiFi in your metal shed, then the best solution for most people is to buy a wireless USB WiFi adapter and a USB extension cable and place the adapter outside of the metal shed.

Then, connect the extension cable to your computer or other receiving equipment that is inside the metal shed. You need to drill a hole in the awning, wall, or soffit of your shed. Consider using a USB wall plate to cover the hole. This is not necessary but will look a lot nicer than a simple hole. Use glue or electrical tape to hold the wall plate in place.

Test the speed of your connection out at speedtest. Scroll down below to learn about dBm and WiFi signal strength. If a wireless USB WiFi adapter does not cut it for you, then take the time to think through these three solutions: network cable solution, powerline networking solution, and point-to-point networking solution. I recommend the network cable solution as the second best solution because it is simple, reliable, and cheap.

Thanks for all this information. This seems like such a simple solution. I have century link WiFi 25mps. I barely get WiFi siting on my back porch. My shop is 50 ft metal building. What can I do to get WiFi signal into my shop? Simple WiFi's mission is to provide everyday people without advanced technical knowledge about wireless networking the solutions they need to take charge of their WiFi.

Here are some pictures Chris sent and the message attached after the installation: Raul, I received the kit and installed it today. Signal strength is a little weak maybe dbm but it's working so far Thanks again to Chris for the pictures and the feedback. For everyone else, feel free to let me know if you have any questions by emailing Support SimpleWiFi. Thank you, Kathe Moser. We have around here many neighborhood networks built with standard UTP cable, and switches and routers hanged on utility poles, many in improvised enclosures, or even plastic bottles cut in half and placed upside-down.

While it can't be considered even remotely professional, I must say they all work just fine and the only problems I've seen so far is with people stealing cable to sell it for money homeless people and such. However, there is a real danger in case of lightning - don't know how much the grounding helps in this case. Even if this happened in an urban area with tall buildings, the charge around the lightning was enough to send current through the wires and fry up those devices.

It depends on the area, if you don't see much lightning it's probably safe. Otherwise I would actually suggest placing the wires underground. The shed is feet away from the router in the house. The cable can be routed accross the living room from the router, through the wall to the outside then up the garden in a straight line and into the shed. It can be suspended from the ceiling as it will be in a car port, under cover for most of the way to the shed.

Then I would say it would be an option to just hang it outside, but you must consider the lightning part too. Stuff like this can damage a lot of your devices and computers and it's not pretty when it happens. What is the car port made of? Wood, metal? Its wooden framed with plastic and metal roofing sheets. All sorted now thanks temp - got a direct cable from the router inside the house. Going to fix a permenant cable from house router to inside the shed then connect another router and go from there.

Everyone's help has been very much appreciated - thanks guys!! It is an all metal shed. We do not get litening strikes in my part of the world - thankfully! Then it's all good, go for it!
